How Iceland Changed the World: The Big Story of a Small Island
14.99 €
The history of Iceland, or as many call it, "the land of ice," began 1200 years ago, when one day a Viking ship ran aground in the middle of the North Atlantic. In that moment, the small, cold island became the birthplace of a nation whose political and artistic figures, natural phenomena, and even flora and fauna, changed the world forever. The book's author, Icelander Egil Bjarnason, explains in a light and humorous way why the country played a key role in events as diverse as the French Revolution, the moon landing, the birth of Israel, and the first female president. You will also learn many little-known facts about the country and the events that took place there, such as the purpose of Eva Braun's visit to Iceland in 1939 or where Neil Armstrong trained before sending the Apollo 11 spacecraft. This book will take you back to the roots of Iceland's history and give you a new perspective on the land of geysers, volcanoes and the legendary northern lights!
